I played this a ton growing up. I got it in the discount bin section at Walmart during Christmas and had an absolute blast. It is one of my favorite RTSs from the early 2000s and deserves to be remembered.
I remember seeing this game on Youtube and immediately knew that I'd love it, and I was right.
What was really enjoyable about it was that I could create armies of tanks and just plow through missions. The missions themselves were really unique too. From the battles on Europe's beaches, to cold winters in Russia, to the island hopping in the Pacific theater. They also had an option where you could play as the Axis and it would take on an alternate history tilt which I thought was really cool as well.
I genuinely hope that GOG adds the game here because the original is in 32 bits which makes it unplayable unfortunately. I will buy it the first chance I get if they do.
Axis & Allies has been my childhood game since I was in 3rd (or forth) Grade. Played it over at least +2000 hours or more. Played the game in a very basic manner, didn't use or understand most mechanics and always used cheats. When I was in high school, I began to play the game more seriously, like no longer using cheats and using the supply line mechanic as intended. (My god do I love the supply mechanic in this game!) Once I got a new laptop around 2023, Axis & Allies couldn’t run on Windows 11, and there was no help online to get it to work. I eventually gave up, believing my confort game was unplayable on modern hardware. Fortunately, last week I was able to get the game running by changing the display mode to integrated graphics in order to run on Windows 11. Game worked fine and made me happy. However, I had to play on a low resolution as the higher resolutions missed up the fonts. If GOG could sell the game again and make patches for it, It would be amazing if this game get played by today's RTS players!

DuneDune is a 1992 video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. Developed by Cryo Interactive, is the first of the Dune computer games. Dune blended adventure with economic and military strategy, and is considered by many the most immersive Dune computer game. Loosely following the story of the novel, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnen from Planet Dune, while managing spice extraction, military, and later, ecology through the native Fremen tribes.
As the player progresses, his troops are equipped with weapons from "crysknives" to atomics, tap into Paul's latent psychic powers, and get acquainted with such characters from the book as Chani and Liet-Kynes.Top Science fiction

Shining Force III: 2nd ScenarioScenario 2, Target: Child of God, features Medion, Prince of Destonia, and youngest of three sons of Emperor Domaric. Although loyal to his father and his country, he senses that there are other forces at work beneath the tensions between Aspinia and Destonia. He attends the conference in Saraband on behalf of Destonia, along with his brothers Arrawnt and Mageron. As discovered in Scenario 1, much of this influence comes from the Bulzome sect, as well as collaborating separatist factions within both Destonia and Aspinia. Medion works parallel to Synbios of Aspinia, often disposing of rogue Aspinian elements to spare Synbios's force from fighting against its own countrymen. At the end of the game, Medion is forced to battle with Synbios' force when Julian steps in to stop them.Fantasy
Shining Force III: 3rd ScenarioScenario 3, Bulzome Rising, stars Julian, a mercenary who appears as a secondary character in both Scenario 1 and Scenario 2. He is for all intents and purposes the true main character of Shining Force III. His initial motivation as the story begins is to track down and kill Galm, one of, if not the, most powerful member of the Vandals, a powerful race of beings that existed over 1,000 years ago. Julian believes that Galm killed his father and is seeking revenge. This story arc is first introduced in an earlier Shining game, Shining the Holy Ark, in which Julian appears as a young boy who asks the party to search for his missing father.
Julian joins Synbios in the midst of his quest in Scenario 1, but after an encounter with Galm, he is tossed over a waterfall at the suspension bridge and believed by Synbios' army to be dead. He reappears in Scenario 2, apparently washing ashore at the site of a battle between Medion's army and the Bulzome Sect. Knowing the sect's ties to the Vandals, Julian agrees to fight alongside Medion. As it becomes clear that the sect is trying to kill Gracia, a child intended to become the next Innovator (A Shining Series figure equatable to a god), Julian takes on the task of protecting him and helping him realize his destiny.
Scenario 3 starts about 60% through scenario 2's story, and focuses primarily on battles against the Bulzome Sect and their allies in both Aspinia and Destonia. While scenarios 1 & 2 happen at roughly the same time, much of scenario 3 takes place after both, but there is some "overlap". Eventually Julian leads a three-party coalition consisting of the armies of both Synbios and Medion, to engage in the final conflict against Bulzome, a powerful Vandal long sealed in another dimension, and the true orchestrator of the conflict.Fantasy
